29 May 2016 - Democracy and CNRP Leadership Threatened

Police in riot gear with assault rifles, but without a warrant, invaded CNRP Headquarters to arrest Kem Sokha, acting CNRP head, on 26 May 2016 despite his parlimentary immunity. They left empty handed. In the following days CNRP supporters gathered at the CNRP HQ. If Kem Sokha is arrested the CNRP has threatened a nationwide demonstration and a leading union has threatened the possibility of a nationwide strike. It seems like another crisis created by the CPP government to no apparent good end.
